Overview

• Oliver Glasner declared that Eberechi Eze remains a Crystal Palace player and will be selected as long as he stays with the club and maintains his form.
• Eze started the Premier League opener at Stamford Bridge, and his 15th-minute free-kick was initially awarded before VAR applied a seldom-used one-yard rule to overturn the goal.
• The 27-year-old’s £68 million release clause expired last Friday, and while Tottenham continue negotiations and Arsenal have shown interest, no bid meeting that valuation has materialized.
• Glasner expects Eze to return to training immediately and to feature in Palace’s first Europa Conference League play-off against Fredrikstad later this week.
• Under contract through 2027, Eze’s recent performances for club and country have fuelled top-level transfer speculation without producing a definitive move.
